Personal Interests & Charitable Work
My passions lie at the intersection of law, sports, technology, and financial literacy. As both an attorney and former software engineer, I’ve always been drawn to innovative solutions that make a meaningful impact. One of my key interests is developing legal automation tools that streamline processes and make legal services more accessible. Beyond my professional pursuits, I’m committed to giving back to my community, especially through my work with E3 Sports Group, the sports agency I founded. I’m passionate about empowering young athletes, helping them navigate the complexities of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals, and ensuring they have the financial and legal knowledge needed to make smart decisions for their careers. Financial literacy is another area close to my heart. I want to see more women and minorities equipped with the tools to build wealth and achieve financial independence. Whether it's through mentoring athletes or creating content on personal finance topics, I aim to provide resources that help others improve their budgeting, investment strategies, and long-term financial planning. In everything I do, I’m driven by the values of excellence, expertise, and elevation, always striving to help others rise while continuing to pursue my own passions.
